New Tunes, 20.8.2021

Hello music lovers! 🎵 🎧 🎤 🎶

There is no end in sight (yet) to this summer. That doesn't bother me at all. As long as musicians are releasing new music, it can last as long as it wants. I don't know what the autumn has in store for us, but there are a lot of new sounds even now.

For #newtunes I've put together some of the songs that have been ringing in my ears this week.
If you like something it's OK. :)

🎵 🎧 🎤 🎶

Parquet Courts -"Walking at a Downtown Pace"

Parquet Courts will have a new album - Symphaty For Life, soon. This song is an intro to an album. A sweaty, soot-stained banger. They never disappoint me. Listenable.

🎵 🎧 🎤 🎶

Keni nije mrtav - Samodisciplina

The energetic punk trio Keni nije mrtav (Engl. Keni isn't dead) from Belgrade, Serbia, was brought to our attention right from the start, in 2017. Their intense performance over the last four years has deservedly brought them to the forefront of the Serbian rock scene. But they've barely started. This is their first official single. Self-discipline.

🎵 🎧 🎤 🎶

Anna Meredith - Heartbreak Staircase

Anna Howard Meredith, a composer and performer of electronic and acoustic music, mostly known for work with BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and MBE holder, I became aware of her when I read that :), has a new album BPM 178, where she plays with Kraftwerk-style electronica. Very interesting, for fans of electronic music.

🎵 🎧 🎤 🎶

Eli Keszler - The Accident

Eli is a composer and percussionist from New York City, known for his complex style and audio and visual installations on his performances. Here's the video for latest album - Icons, recorded on the streets of New York.

🎵 🎧 🎤 🎶

Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine - Back to Oz

Both are well-known American multi-instrumentalists and cooperate quite regularly. This is an intro to the new album A Beginners Mind. Very nice acoustic guitars and vocals and stories about childhood secrets.

🎵 🎧 🎤 🎶

KING WOMAN - Psychic Wound

King Woman is a band behind Kristina Esfandiari, an American songwriter, and singer. This is an intro to Celestial Blues, a new album and this charismatic video will surely attract the attention of gothic/dark/death fans.

🎵 🎧 🎤 🎶

BLK JKS - HARARE

BLK JKS aka Black Jacks is a South African band from Johannesburg. As I read they're more known internationally than in South Africa. This is from their second album, they add their own expressivity to the classical African sound. Worth to listen.

🎵 🎧 🎤 🎶

Mark Cameron - Back from the Edge

Mark is a true veteran, who has been on the jazz scene since the early seventies, when he turned to folk-rock, and later to blues. He is constantly working with acoustic and electric instruments, which is also the subject of this album. Recommended.
